Publisher's Synopsis
Shine
An Avian graveyard carved inside the mountain seems too captivating, and Celeste can't refuse her curiosity to explore. In fact, everything about the Avian culture and her destined life with Jacob fascinates her as she learns the Avian ways. But those ways are also fraught with destructive forces. The first is Rockford, the Avians' nemesis, whose assault on this majestic birdlike race knows no physical boundaries. And then there's the mysterious Avian illness that threatens them with total extinction. And finally, a powerful force threatens Celeste's interdependent relationship with her guardian beast, Gala. As Celeste's love for Jacob deepens, she finds herself immersed in a battle to help save her kind from these ominous perils. Shine, the third book in a series of three, is a young-adult fantasy and romance novel. Mine Surprise! A humorous short story about Pete from Allison's perspective is included at the end of Shine. Due to spoilers, it's a nice ending to the trilogy and is meant to be read last for the full, delicious, and best experience.Enjoy! -Denise Keiser
